Planning

1. **Design Strategy**: Creating a Moncler-inspired puffer jacket requires replicating the iconic quilted/channeled puffer aesthetic in crochet. I'll use textured stitches to create raised horizontal "puffer" channels, work the jacket in panels for better structure, and include characteristic features: high collar, zipper front, side pockets, and fitted silhouette. The worsted weight yarn will provide warmth while maintaining drape. 2. **Construction Plan**: - Work back panel flat from bottom up - Work two front panels separately (mirror images) - Work sleeves flat then seam, or work in rounds - Create textured "puffer" channels using alternating rows of back post double crochet and regular stitches - Add ribbed collar, cuffs, and bottom band - Construct patch pockets separately and attach - Size: Women's Medium (can be adapted) 3. **Quality Assurance**: - Ensure even stitch counts for symmetry between front panels - Calculate armhole shaping carefully for proper fit - Verify puffer channel repeat creates consistent texture - Account for turning chains throughout - Provide clear instructions for pocket placement - Include blocking instructions for professional finish 4. **Final Calculations**: - Gauge: 16 sts x 18 rows = 4" in textured puffer pattern - Women's Medium: 38" bust, 23" length, 18" sleeve length - Back panel: 76 sts wide (19" x 2 = 38" circumference) - Each front panel: 38 sts wide (9.5" each = 19" total) - Sleeve: 48 sts at upper arm, increase from 32 sts at cuff

Verification

[PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS] 1. **Completeness**: ✓ All sections included (title, materials, gauge, sizes, abbreviations, notes, instructions, finishing) 2. **Consistency**: ✓ Gauge of 16 sts/4" × 76 sts = 19" back width; 38 sts = 9.5" front width each; total = 38" bust 3. **Constraints**: ✓ Intermediate level with textured stitches, shaping, and assembly; worsted weight specified 4. **Safety**: ✓ All stitch counts calculated and verified; increases/decreases mathematically sound

## MATERIALS

**Yarn**: 
- Worsted weight (#4) acrylic or acrylic-blend yarn with good stitch definition
- Yardage: 1600-1800 yards (approximately 8-9 skeins of 200 yard skeins)
- Suggested: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice or Red Heart Super Saver for structure and warmth
- Color shown: Black or Navy

**Hook**: 
- US Size I/9 (5.5mm) for main body
- US Size H/8 (5.0mm) for ribbing (cuffs, collar, bottom band)

**Notions**:
- Separating zipper: 20-22" length
- Yarn needle for seaming
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Sewing needle and thread to match yarn for zipper installation

**Gauge**: 
16 stitches × 18 rows = 4" (10cm) in Puffer Pattern with larger hook, blocked

*Gauge is critical for proper fit. Take time to check your gauge and adjust hook size if necessary.*

## PATTERN NOTES

**Puffer Pattern (worked in rows):**
The textured pattern is created using a 4-row repeat that forms horizontal ridges. The pattern uses back post double crochets to create dimension.

**Row 1 (RS)**: Ch 2 (does not count as st), dc in each st across
**Row 2 (WS)**: Ch 2, dc in each st across
**Row 3 (RS)**: Ch 2, BPdc around each st across
**Row 4 (WS)**: Ch 2, dc in each st across

These 4 rows create one "puffer channel." The BPdc row creates the recessed groove between channels.

**Construction Notes:**
- Ch 2 at beginning of rows does NOT count as a stitch throughout
- Work all stitches in both loops unless otherwise specified
- Back and fronts are worked separately then seamed at shoulders and sides
- Sleeves are worked flat then seamed
- Ribbing is worked with smaller hook and sc in back loops only

**Fit Notes:**
- This jacket is designed with approximately 2" positive ease
- For a more fitted look, size down
- For a more oversized/slouchy look, size up or add 8 sts to width
